New Orleans based rapper Maxx Painn (@Maxx_Painn9), was born Maximillion Jackson, son of single mother Jo Ann Jackson. Maxx grew up in the rough streets of the lower 9th ward, infamously known as Cross the Canal. Like many others from Maxx’s neighborhood, he comes from a single parent home. His father, whom he never met, was murdered before Maxx was born. Even with life’s mishaps, Maxx still managed to live seemingly normal childhood.
Early in life, Maxx became a huge fan of rap music. He found his inspiration from rappers such as, New Orleans based rap group The Hot Boys, Soulja Slim, Young Jeezy and several others. It was then that Max knew that rapping would become a passion for him; a way to get him through troubling times.
Tragedy later struck MaxP when he was wrongfully incarcerated in August 2011. Maxx was then escorted to Orleans Parish Prison, notoriously known for housing some of New Orleans’ most dangerous criminals, its drug use as well as weapons in the possession of the inmates. While serving a 13 month sentence in Orleans Parish Prison, Maxx sat in cell everyday writing music and thinking about life to pass the time.
Maxx had a conversation with his older brother who told him, “You have a gift from God that you can use to get your family out of the hood.” With those encouraging words, Maxx was determined to take the music world by storm. After receiving a positive feedback from people all over the city, he felt that it was a sign to keep moving forward. Now at the age of 23, which isn’t exactly old but when you’re growing up in the streets of New Orleans where most people don’t live to see 21, it’s both a blessing and privilege to make it this far.
Maxx believes that true artists have the ability to let the fans know who they really are through the music. His message is simple to fans & critics alike, “If you ain’t rockin with MaxxP, you gotta be hating.” Teaming up with the streets A&R Maxx is bringing you all his latest mixtape effort titled "The Marquis Larue Story"...listen, download, and support.

JR Boss (@JrBossDGE) continues to push and keep his word to late friend Doe B. Having released his F*ck A Rap Check in July 2014 to much acclaim, he is back with a follow up titled "Public Enemy No.1". This time around he teamed up with DJ Frank White, Bigga Rankin, DJ Winn, and Karltin Bankz to take this mixtape to the max. Check it out, download, and support.

In recent memory, the city of Atlanta has been home to more Hip-Hop success stories than any other city by far. With the city’s Hip-Hop explosion, it’s easy to forget it’s rich history with R&B music. TLC, Usher, Monica, Jagged Edge, 112, and Ciara have all helped establish and fly the Atlanta R&B flag dating back to the 90’s. In 2015 it’s time for some new blood...
Introducing Atlanta born R&B crooner, Malachiae Warren. The 19-year-old rising talent is poised to make his mark on the game, and in the process, bring back that youthful, fly, ATL R&B vibe that once had the city and the industry on the edge of their seats. The 2014 North Atlanta High School graduate began singing at age 12 and recording music at age 14. Although coming from a family with an extensive musical background, Malachiae (aka Chiae) takes nothing for granted. He challenged himself to become more than just a vocalist, honing his skills to ultimately write, arrange and produce his own music. He and, mentor/creative partner, Jasper Cameron are looking to make their Love Life brand the next mainstay in R&B music.
Cameron, a product of the 90’s/2000’s Atlanta music scene, came up under super producer Dallas Austin and has been instrumental in the early careers of a handful of successful Atlanta R&B acts including Ciara, Lloyd and Monica. His extensive songwriter/production credits also include the likes of TLC, Lil Wayne, Christina Aguilera, Future, August Alsina, T.I., Mario, Jeezy and many more.
The ATL music scene has always been self-contained and has thrived throughout the last two decades of R&B and Hip-Hop. But it’s no longer about what ATL music was, or even what it currently is... it’s about what it can be. The pairing of Chiae and Cameron creates a unique fusion that combines Atlanta’s edgy youth culture, with the soulful groove of its R&B roots.
Chiae’s debut singles, the T.I. remake “24’s”, produced by the Love Life duo, and the infectious “Thank Yo Mama”, both perfectly embody the fusion of past and future. On the John “$K” McGhee (Trey Songz, R. Kelly) produced “Thank Yo Mama”, we find the young crooner appreciating the beauty of a special lady as he sings, “Love you like we grown, cuz girl you got me on one. I’m tryna be the one you think about, when you’re layin’ up In the house”, he goes on to sing the chorus “I just wanna thank yo momma, for making something so fine, (aaahhh) something so right”.
This Spring, look for Malachiae Warren and #LoveLife to begin the rebranding of ATL music for the next generation.

At the age of 18, most kids are still trying to figure out what they want to do with their life, but Washington, DC area native DJ Young Music has been living his dream for quite some time. As the official deejay for R&B artist Ginuwine and opening act for the Grammy nominated group TGT (Tyrese, Ginuwine, Tank), DJ Young Music has travelled the country, showcasing his talent as one of the hottest up-and-coming deejays today.
Now, with his debut as a producer on the single entitled, “Right Here”, DJ Young Music is now considered by many to be a triple threat...deejay, songwriter, and music producer. His ability to lay dope beats coupled with world-wide distribution for his label DYMG Entertainment from N.S.U.C. Entertainment, LLC/ Entertainment One (E1) Distribution has already garnered high praises by many in the industry.
His talents were even recognized by the King of Hip Hop, legendary music mogul P. Diddy when DJ Young Music was invited as one of the premiere deejays to get the crowd moving at the launch of his new music-themed network, Revolt TV.
Due to a musical catalogue well-beyond his young adult years, unmatched skills, and established relationships in the industry; DJ Young Music has access to some of the hottest exclusives from major and independent artist alike. His mixtapes have become legendary, going beyond being just music, but a true masterpiece of unique beats layered over unusual tracks and lyrics.
His passion for music began at an early age, traveling to gigs with his grandfather, a legendary party deejay in the Washington, DC metro area. By the age of 12, the teen prodigy was an established local DJ himself, showcasing his skills at area clubs, community events and high school dances.
Although DJ Young Music has amassed quite a reputation as a deejay, he continues to be a student in the game of music and in life. As a full time high school student, he focuses on his academic success during the day and nurtures his deejay skills at night and on the weekends serving as a deejay for veteran musical groups and at the hottest clubs around the country.
While his future is clearly bright, DJ Young Music looks to continue to take advantage of meaningful opportunities that allow him to showcase his skills and nurture his talent as a deejay, songwriter and music producer.
